  • The festivals for Sri Gaura-Purnima have unofficially begun here, with many devotees already at the lotus feet of Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj in our Dum Dum Park Temple, and many more here in Nabadwip preparing for the official start of this year's events.

    Festival acknowledgements
     

    Dear devotees and friends,

    Our due respects to you all. Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj is pleased to meet with the many devotee-pilgrims arriving for Sri Gaura-Purnima and to receive the sincere offerings and letters brought with them.

    There is a hive of activity taking place, therefore we pray for your understanding that at present it is not possible to personally acknowledge each one immediately. Naturally Srila Gurudev's grace is with all who have sent offerings and has written him.

    As far as possible we shall try to keep you informed of His Divine Grace's pastimes during these special days, and get back to you with his heartfelt acknowledgement presently.

    Repeatedly praying for your understanding.
    Sincerely and respectfully,
    -The Office Team
     of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math
     currently in SCSKSangha, Dum Dum Park, Kolkata
